Dreaming of being a soldier can portray acting too defensively in a situation. Since soldiers wear the same uniforms and are stripped of their personal identity, this type of dream can represent how you are not living authentically. Like Attack and Being Chased where your identity is undergoing transformation, this type of dream can also be accompanied by bombs or the symbols that represent the release of what you are protecting/repressing. Being a soldier can represent the first steps in allowing for the uprooting of fear in preparation for a more authentic way of expressing yourself. See Army .
